About this study

This study will address the feasibility of simultaneous cochlear implantation during resection of a vestibular schwannoma.

Read the detailed description

This is prospective study patients undergoing a translabyrinthine resection for a vestibular schwannoma with intact hearing in the contralateral ear. During surgery, simultaneous cochlear implantation will be performed if the cochlear nerve can be identified and preserved during the resection.

Relevant data to be collected will include patient demographics, details related to the vestibular schwannoma including side, size, symptoms (specifically pre-operative hearing loss, degree of tinnitus), and status of hearing in the contralateral ear. Surgical details to be recorded will include date of surgery, surgical time, and whether the cochlear nerve was identified and preserved. Details related to the post-operative course to be recorded include length of stay in the hospital, post-operative complications such as wound infection or cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) leak, and need for revision or additional procedures.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Measurement of Hearing Parameters

    Audiologist assesses changes in understanding of the AzBio test (words in quiet and words in background noise) post cochlear implantation.

    Measured: 1 month, 3 months and 6 months postoperatively.

  2. Measurement of Hearing Parameters

    Audiologist assesses changes in understanding of 50 random consonant-nucleus-consonant sounds.

    Measured: 1 month, 3 months and 6 months postoperatively.

  3. Measurement of Hearing Parameters

    Audiologist assesses changes in understanding changes in understanding of Speech, Spatial and Qualities of Hearing.

    Measured: 1 month, 3 months and 6 months postoperatively.

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Measurement of Change of Physical Symptoms Associated with Hearing Loss

    Patients will complete the Dizziness Handicap Inventory

    Measured: 1, 3 and 6 months postoperatively

  2. Assessment of Change of Physical Symptoms Associated with Hearing Loss

    Patients will complete the Tinnitus Handicap Inventory

    Measured: 1, 3 and 6 months postoperatively

  3. Assessment of incision site healing

    Surgeon evaluates wound hearing over 3 months

    Measured: 1 week, and 1 and 3 months postoperatively

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Measurement of Hearing Parameters (time frame: 1 month, 3 months and 6 months postoperatively.). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03958006, which also lists 7 linked publications.
